Ex2: Network reliability estimation

Files whose names contain 'r1' concern reliability estimation for the network from Fig. 2 with component reliabilities given by the vector r1=[0.944, 0.964, 0.958, 0.946, 0.946, 0.948, 0.955, 0.954, 0.93, 0.955, 0.962, 0.952, 0.966]. These files whose names contain 'r2' concern reliability estimation for the network from Fig. 2 with component reliabilities given by the vector r2=[0.707, 0.699, 0.706, 0.693, 0.692, 0.704, 0.707, 0.693, 0.702, 0.708, 0.705, 0.679, 0.684]. Files whose names contain 'MC' concern reliability estimation based on d-MCs, otherwise the network reliability is based on d-MPs. If a file's name contains 'RX', then the file contains data concerning the performance of Chang's procedure for reliability estimation without steps 1 and 2 and Kozyra's procedure IFB (algorithm 1) for a given dataset of random vectors. Otherwise, the file contains data concerning the performance of Chang's procedure for reliability estimation using his first procedure generating random vectors and Kozyra's procedure IRE (algorithm 2). The meaning of columns in all datasets whose name does not contain 'RX' is as follows: 'd' - demand level, 'number' - the number of d-MPs or d-MCs; 'Chang R' and 'Chang T' - reliability estimation and running time, respectively, for Chang's reliability estimation procedure, 'Kozyra R' and 'Kozyra T' - reliability estimation and running time, respectively, for Kozyra's reliability estimation procedure (algorithm 2); 'Chang/Kozyra' - the ratio of the running time of Chang's procedure and the running time of Kozyra's algorithm. The meaning of columns in all datasets whose name contains 'RX' is as follows: 'd' - demand level, 'number' - the number of d-MPs or d-MCs; 'Simple R'/'Simple T' - reliability estimation/running time for Chang's estimation reliability procedure without steps 1-2 for X from a given dataset of random vectors, 'Intersection R'/'Intersection T' - reliability estimation/running time for Kozyra's estimation reliability procedure IFB (algorithm 1); 'Simple/Intersection' - the ration of the computational time of Chang's estimation reliability procedure without steps 1-2 and the running time of Kozyra's estimation reliability procedure IFB (algorithm 1).
